Electric motoring is coming to the masses — and it’ll have an eco-friendly twist sure to keep vegans happy.

In unveiling the sixth of its all-electric ID concept cars in Shanghai overnight — a large SUV with three rows of seats - Volkswagen also signalled its intention to use eco-friendly materials made from plants.

The ID Roomzz uses a new material “that consists of a renewable raw material” called AppleSkin on the seats.

Already used in shoes, AppleSkin is produced from the cores and skins of apples to create something similar to leather.

The ID Roomzz also has “specially processed wooden veneers” on parts of the door panels, while a system called CleanAir actively monitors air quality and is claimed to remove impurities to ensure those inside are always breathing clean air.

In a nod to the connected era it has play and pause symbols on the accelerator and brake pedals.

The ID Roomzz will also have three rows of seats, potentially accommodating seven occupants.

Designer Klaus Bischoff describes it as a “monolith, appearing to be seamlessly machined from one solid block”.

The seats will also be customisable to consumer tastes and the driving situation, the ID Roomzz designed with driverless technology in mind.

There’s also no traditional dashboard, with the steering wheel able to be temporarily stashed away once computers take over.
